It depends where you are and what you’re trying to accomplish. Tools are solutions. Start with the outcome and work backwards
There’s no “Best” if you’re a 0-1 company starting with monitoring makes no sense for example

I would start with a vision, a set of principles, and a written description of what you’d like to accomplish. Then take that and work backwards based on the principles. For example if you hvae a principle of least surprise selecting something like GitLab might not make sense 😉
